EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures the iconic Empire State Building in all its grandeur. Taken by Lewis W. Hine, a renowned American photographer, this image transports us back to 1931 when the building was first completed. Standing tall amidst the bustling cityscape of New York, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural brilliance. The Empire State Building dominates the frame with its towering height and distinctive art deco design. Its silhouette cuts through the sky, symbolizing progress and ambition during a time of economic turmoil in America. The black-and-white medium adds depth and contrast to the photograph, emphasizing every intricate detail of this engineering marvel. Lewis W. Hine's keen eye for composition is evident in this print as he expertly captures not only the physical structure but also the spirit of New York City itself. The surrounding buildings seem almost insignificant compared to this magnificent skyscraper that has become an enduring symbol of American resilience and determination. Measuring at 24.1 x 19.2 cm (9 1/2 x 7 9/16 inches), this print allows us to appreciate Hine's craftsmanship up close while transporting our imagination back to a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, humans have always strived for greatness and left their mark on the world through remarkable feats like the Empire State Building.
